filler_pkts
Pad the start of the output with filler_pkts filler TS packets, to allow the client to synchronize with the datastream. [default = 8]
Do not output sequence headers for fast forward/reverse data. Only relevant to H.262 data.

Program Stream Switches:

pat_freq
Output the program data (PAT/PMT) after every pat_freq PS packs. [default = 100]

dvb
Use stream type 0x06. [default]
atsc
